Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
Binding Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Warm your butter to room temperature and heat the oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for crisp cookie edges.
- Grab a large mixing bowl and cream 1 cup unsalted butter with 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup packed brown sugar until the mixture looks soft and airy.
- Crack 2 large eggs into the butter mixture, incorporating them one at a time. Pour in 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract and blend thoroughly.
- Whisk 2 cups all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon baking soda and ½ teaspoon salt in a separate bowl. Slowly integrate these dry ingredients into your wet mixture.
- Measure out 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal. Gently fold these into your cookie dough, being careful not to crush the cereal.
- Portion the dough into 1.5-tablespoon rounds, spacing them 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets. This prevents the cookies from merging during baking.
- Slide the sheets into the 350F oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cookie edges turn a beautiful golden brown.
- Remove the sheets from the oven and let the cookies rest for 2 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to complete cooling and set their perfect crispy texture.
Notes
- Check your butter temperature to ensure it’s softened but not melted, which helps create perfect cookie texture.
- Crush Rice Krispies slightly before adding to help them distribute more evenly through the dough.
- For gluten-free version, swap wheat flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free blend and use certified gluten-free Rice Krispies.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for maximum crispness and freshness up to 5 days.
